Artesunate Attenuates Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Release from Macrophages by Inhibiting TLR4-Mediated Autophagic Activation via the TRAF6-Beclin1-PI3KC3 Pathway

Background/Aims: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) plays a critical role in excessive inflammatory cytokine production during sepsis. Previously, artesunate (AS) was reported to protect septic mice by reducing LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokine release. In the present study, the possible mechanism of the...
